  1. norway is a rich country and the people are well educated. you really think the only reason 94% of new car owners decided to buy an ev is the price? can it be that you look down at norwegian or / and ev owners? they are buying ev because they love it and it makes sense for them, not only because of the subsidizing...
  2. i completely agree with that statement! they simply can't compete because they've been asleep for the last 20 years and have severely underestimated china in many areas ... Electric car sales in Norway took a 94% share of the market in August a new world record statistics showed Monday, as sales in the rest of Europe stagnate. https://www.voanews.com/a/norway-s-electric-car-sales-set-new-world-record-/7768036.html
  3. my wife goes to the tax office every year with all our bank statements, including receipts from investments, government funds, etc. normally, the staff enter all the data into the system. however, this year, the employee asked my wife about the amount we calculated by ourself. since the difference from the system was only a few baht, the employee decided not to enter all the data into the computer! conclusion: banks are sending data directly to the TRD! i've had a TIN for over 10 years and have been filing tax returns every year... without any issue ...
  4. i do hope so … even if it ends up back at square one with another military government, losing many years of development once again because of the greedy criminal toni and his corrupt followers.
  5. it could be, this two lanes becomes in the front into one lane, so therefore the two "lane-lights" regulates the traffic ...
  6. agree, but sometimes a rare thing can become more likely, even in thailand. for example, enforcement of speeding tickets or tm30 regulations. some foreigners prefer to follow the rules or laws, even if it's inconvenient or costly. it's your choice.
  7. the new 2025 seal is selling very well in china ... https://www.car250.com/byd-seal-evo-2024-08-1.html?sfnsn=mo
  8. i use bangkok bank internet banking since many years without any issues. it's easy to use ... however i would prefer they would add two-factor authentication (via cellphone) instead only user name and password ....
  9. thanks for your comment, i can see where you're coming from. but, i only partly agree with your statement. battery technology will continue to improve every year, because there's still a lot of potential. however, for ev owners who drive 50-100 km daily and typically charge overnight at home, these advancements won't make much of a difference. for this large group of ev owners, the current battery technology will remain sufficient even 20 years from now. technology and software will also improve, today’s ev's do receive alredy relevant software updates. processors and other components may be upgraded or replaced if ever (?) needed . in my opinion, autonomous driving won’t become a realistic topic in thailand anytime soon ... the fundamental technology of today’s ev's will, in my view, still be enough 20 years from now to drive safely and comfortably from A to B. of course, there will be more refined and advanced ev's in the future, especially due to the rapid production pace of new models coming from china (with which established car manufacturers do struggle to keep up)! if someone is waiting for ev technology to improve by 50 to 100 percent, they will likely have to wait about 10 years or even longer. as for the prices of these more advanced ev's, it's difficult to predict at this point ... i feel that now and next year will be a great time to switch to an electric car ... drive safe!
  10. how could you know that?
  11. a bit too harsh, but overall, i would agree with you on this one ...
  12. well said ... thank you!
  13. why do you like to act clueless? are you really that lost, or are you just trolling... or maybe both?
  14. it seems non ev owner have range issue ...
  15. wouldn't it be better if you first gained some basic knowledge about electric vehicles before commenting on topics you clearly know nothing about? your posts reflect the typical attitude of an ev hater, someone who has no real interest in learning about ev's and just wants to troll ...
  16. i agree with that; in case of an accident or emergency, any government hospital must treat a thai citizen under the 30 baht scheme. is it possible that you’re being played?
  17. - as stated in the title: do you remember this? - probably not everyone knows that some countries have switched from driving on the left to driving on the right side of the road. - anyone who has driven a left-hand drive car in a country with left-hand traffic knows how challenging it can be (i did it for a few weeks), especially when overtaking! in sweden, this was the norm until 1967: drivers sat on the left side in left-hand traffic, which doesn't make any sense to me! maybe someone from sweden could shed some light on the reason behind this unusual setup ...
  18. RIP ... if i put all the puzzles together, not sure what to think about it ...
  19. sweden was preparing to switch to driving on the right side of the road... the funny thing is, before the change in 1967, swedish people drove their left-hand drive cars on the left side (!)... sorry, i only found a facebook link to this bbc report. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/oWsU6FU3Jskar5kC/?mibextid=Mk4v2M
  20. i am not a tax expert at all, but this is how i would approach it: if my portfolio (savings, investments, but without property, car, valuables, etc.) amounts to 10 million baht as of 31.12.2023, and i have proof like a bank statement. under the current tax law, i could transfer a total of 10 million baht to thailand (either in one year or over a time of a few years) without having to pay taxes. the income or profit from 2024 onwards will not turn into savings, neither now nor in the coming years. however, i wouldn't push at this moment the boundaries of the "saving law" too far, with property or stockmarket selling etc
  21. "Why Hybrid Cars Might Be More Expensive in the Long Run: Hybrid cars, which utilize both electric motors and petrol/diesel engines for power, are often promoted as an eco-friendly choice. However, these cars may end up costing you more due to their high price and less-than-stellar real-world fuel economy. While hybrids can be incredibly fuel-efficient in city driving, longer trips on highways may not be as efficient as anticipated." https://vorsprung.com/blogs/blog/why-hybrid-cars-might-be-more-expensive-in-the-long-run?srsltid=AfmBOooyBB20KhAfvNZFkPAR8oXsBA7BJmi4EZ2bTI6Ob6vLvCsAYAKF i'm pretty sure that most hybrid owners have no real understanding of how a hybrid works or how to drive it to get the optimal efficiency. in my opinion, hybrid cars are a cleverly packaged deception, and no one of the buyers really seems to care about it ... if you don't mind, i'll borrow your statement: "A hybrid fully electric car makes a lot of sense for a lot of people, as the sales figures show." and by the way, ev owners don't spend much time at petrol stations since 90-95% of charging is done at home, except for those without a home charger or delivery drivers on the go ...
  22. is your wife not a tax resident in thailand? for thai citizens, the same tax laws apply; they will enter her id card into the system... and the same result! not the smartest solution for tax evasion...
  23. this argument has been explained to you countless times... i'm slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that you're not just a troll, but that you have more serious problems ...
  24. it's clear that hybrid cars are more efficient than traditional gasoline vehicles. however, i get the sense that for many buyers, a hybrid car is more of a "feel-good" purchase rather than a practical benefit. do the advantages really outweigh the drawbacks, such as add maintenance costs, a higher price tag, the small battery being constantly pushed to its limits, limited benefits at higher speeds, and so on? nowadays, there are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (phevs) with very good range and also many affordable fully electric cars. personally, a hybrid would be the last thing i'd spend extra money on because, it just doesn't make sense ...
  25. "Thaskin will always be a convicted Felon ..." i am pretty sure khun toni sees it differently ... and he made it also clear, so all his corrupt and criminal dinosaurs-friends and even his emenys understand it this way ...
